Say, I Like Green Eggs & Ham

Notice the fine print-ugh! As luck would have it, missed out on shamrock shakes from McD's for 2nd yr in a row on St Patrick's Day 'cuz apparently distribution center ran outta the syrup in advance?! The boys & I were furious after trying 2 locations only to hear not possible to purchase the ever popular holiday treats, but they didn't complain with my homemade version o' mint-flavored green milk (although should've learned by now that a lil' goes a long way in the ole' flavoring=strong stuff!!:) Not much else to report re: day's festivities, but how do you follow exciting posts re: NCAA tourney & Disneyland anyway??? Failed to call my Irish friend for details on how to celebrate authentically, then reflected for a moment re: potential for having bad luck IF NOT Irish on St Patrick's Day?! Managed to put on both black boots over my cool shamrock socks; however, should've known it would go awry when boys opted outta Lucky Charms for breakfast--Cole considered green icing on pop-tart sufficient:) Also have yet to rec've our pkg o' green tadpoles in the mail...Otherwise just made sure we were adorned in green-Obviously didn't get a pic of 'em this very day before bathtime, but Cole did bring that hat back out for school, Luke did sport that rugby and is featured with his namesake not to mention Dane is known to have that expression frequently so close enough:)Also kept with green eggs & ham tradition albeit @ 7:30P by time dinner actually served, even later for video version after Cole completed homework (writing re: 3 wishes if encountered leprechaun:)! o' mcwell!
